I have a EF300 with flash and spinners. The flash is showing Volume block sizes supported 4k/512e but the spinners are only showing 512e. The drives are 4k sector size with 512 logical sectors. I am not seeing any way to set those to allow 4k sectors. Any idea why these 512e drives aren't allowing 4k sectors/volumes?

Hi @lusty path !

We only support 4K Native Block sizes with NVMe drives only with EF300/600. While the spinning SAS drives may be 4K sectors, we only recognize them as 512e and can’t support 4K Native with those.
